Description
- The local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Kingman manages nearly 2.4 million acres of public lands in Mohave and Yavapai Counties.

Recreation - These lands support a wide variety of different types of activities which serve an equally wide variety of people. These activities include hiking, camping, horseback riding, mountain biking and other forms of recreation.

These opportunities can range from horseback riding in a vast undeveloped wilderness, to organized group camping trips to a developed campground. and lots of things somewhere in between. Some folks like to go hunting and fishing, or just to photograph wildlife or desert scenery. Others enjoy recreational rockhounding or sightseeing. Others like to take hikes or drive off-highway vehicles to find a quiet place to contemplate life or the beauty of the desert.

Climate - The climate of Arizona is as diverse as it's landscape. The higher elevations receive more precipitation, some in the form of snow during the winter months. The mountainous areas experience cooler temperatures with cold winter months. Dress in layers for your travels in this state of varying layers and be prepared for cool temperatures in high elevations. Little rain falls in this area so be prepared with plenty of drinking water.

This is a beautiful little drive! Because it is a Monday, there were not too many people on the road. I have drove through on a weekend though, and it's pretty packed with people. The way I went is fairly simple. I started on Power/N Bush and headed North. Then I intersected Hwy 87 just a little ways up the road and headed Southwest back into the Phoenix area. Many of my freestyle explorations are usually more intense, but this was a great little drive. The only landmark I have to report is a location which I have coordinates to. If you have an OHV, you should turn off N Bush here : N33d35.624 W111d32.627. Then, take the trails to this location : N33d35.965 W111d32.098. You will find yourself at a remarkable hilltop which overlooks a gorgeous valley to the Northeast which displays a perfect view of the Four Peaks! Hope you make it!
